Inca Architecture

Across from the temple, on the opposite mountain, is a grain store house. The thought behind why the incas would have build a grain storage so high up a mountain is that the moisture was less and the grain would have lasted longer.

On this same mountain, the incas carved faces into the mountain surface. Below is the face of a bearded man with a crown on something on his head.

This bearded man is believed to be a traveler from Bolivia that brought grain and technology to the people of Ollantaytambo. The Tiahuanaco people in Bolivia had this stone carving and water technology prior to Ollantaytambo and Machu Pichuu. In the picture below, the bearded man is carrying a big bag on his back along with the grain store house.

In the picture below, you can see the profile of an inca emperor. When you look at this mountain, it seems there could be a lot more faces carved into it if you look long enough.
